Probably depends on definitions of sustained and breakout, but my friends and I still use BeReal daily

Counterargument: Discord exploded after 2020 and now has hundreds of millions of users. It’s a stealth hit. People use it but somehow don’t think of it as a social network, because faces on profiles aren’t as big a part of it. But it might have as many as 500M users.

What candidates come to mind from each of the following buckets? 1. Funded by big tech and sustained 2. Not big tech funded, fizzled out

Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite and others are big hangout places for many teens and kids. They're not "social apps" but a lot of socializing happens on those platforms. Probably also on Fortnite, FFXIV and others.

Did Twitch come out later in the same year? Also kind of hard to judge apples to apples when you think of how many promising apps were purchased in early days. (Vine, Periscope, musical.ly Etc.) then pillaged and sunset.

Vine, but was not sustained. I guess tiktok was able to take their position after figuring out monetization.

BeReal seems to be persisting, most folks thought the DAU would drop off after a month or two but it seems like they are growing still. Young demo of users, kind of reminds me of like musical. ly before tiktok
